Poly U student skips exam with fake medical note, gets probation sentence

A second year Hong Kong Polytechnic university tampered with a medical note to avoid an exam.

The 19-year-old student used tippex to change the date of a medical note, originally dated to May. 7 and presented it to the school on May. 24

The student was prosecuted for producing false documents and was sentenced to probation for one year as well as a fine of HK$1,000 reports Sing Tao Daily.

Kids don’t waste your energy thinking of ways to cheat or avoid an exam, the time would be better spent studying!
